Sorry for my bad english. Not so much changes from the last version. The only thing that I edited aside from the grammar mistakes was Koro's name. At this point I don't need to explain, right?
To the fic!
STRK Dormroom
The dormroom of team STRK was lacking of three members, except for the leader. Sally was in the front of a mirror taking selfies with her scroll.
She put a hand on the back of her head and take a shot. She put a hand on her hip, gave a wink and take a shot. She turn around to show her back to take a shot. She stop to look around to the empty room, wondering where her teammates went in that time of the night.
Unícorn probably was on the workshop working on only god know what while Koro dragged Ryan to Vale and he didn't tell her what he was planning to do. She go could only hope that whatever they were doing not put them in some trouble.
Vale
Sometimes Ryan questioned if have some deity that wanted to punish him for something that he did on the past life. Right now, he became accomplice of vandalism thanks to his partner. They passed the time of curfew and cannot go back to Beacon in a bullhead. What they are doing?
-Koro.
-What?
-Where did that food come from?
-I found it.
-In the cafeteria of the school?
-Details.
Right now, the two of them were carrying bags filled with stolen food from the school. They were walking on the poor distric, a place what give some chills to Ryan. Looking around, he saw some scary faces, graffiti of gangs or the White Fang and some suspicious eyes. He didn't know that Koro sometimes have to go to places like that when he was a child. When Koro confessed that he didn't know read, he told too that he is a orphan and grow up in the streets of Vale, alone. Ryan could not stop looking around, he grow in places like that? Koro make a sign to stop and give a big whistle. They arrive in a little shanty town, but the place hardly could be called a town, the place was a mess. From the houses come some people not so different from Koro.
Everyone wearing old clothes, cuts on the skin and dirt everywhere. Koro 's scarff release the bag on the floor and open, everyone get closer to get a little of the food. Ryan did the same and more people surround them to grab some food from the bag.
-Koro, you really shouldn't do that. -Said a man.
-Relax, Beacon have food to spare.
-But you gonna be in trouble if them discover. -Said a woman.
-C'mon, I'm making a favor to them. It is better give the food to someone than throw on the garbage.
-Koro, just... just... don't try throw to the window the opportunity that you get it. -Spoke the man.
Koro was surprised that his friend used the same words Ozpind said to him. He look around to the people what are his friends from the time he was in the streets, Ryan wanted to know what is going on in Koro's head now. Look to these people what seemed thankful for the food that he brought. Ryan then notice a little girl hugging his leg.
-Thank you for the food mister.
-Claire, don't bother Koro's friend.
-Ok mommy, thank you Koro.
Koro just give to her a raised thump and Claire did the same.
Beacon
Unícorn enter in her room and the first thing she notices is her leader. Sally was sitting in front of the computer looking at photos of some teenagers boys... who were topless. She didn't notice Unícorn, so was caught by surprise by her partner looking to the computer monitor by her side. Sally's cheeks become red, she then closed the page and giggled a little in embarrassment. Unícorn roll her eyes before look around the room.
-Where is Ryan and Koro?
-I don't know. -Sally said with a worried expression. -It is becoming late. I hope they are ok.
-They can take care of themselves. -Different from her leader, Unícorn didn't seemed worried. -No need to worry.
Sally just look to her partner who lay down on the bed and turn on the music on her headphones. Sally could only hope that she was right.
Back to Vale
After they done giving food for the poor pleople, Koro dragged Ryan to another part of the city to another one of his ideas.
-What exaclty we gonna do here? -Ryan asked.
-I need you keep the eyes open for any cop. -Koro answered while looking at the brick wall.
-You not gonna stole from the market, are you?
-No. I just gonna paint that wall with a graffiti.
-This is not illegal? -Ryan asked poiting to a sign what said "No Graffiti". Clearly in the wall.
-Because of this I need you to look around for any cop.
-When was I turned accomplice?
-Just keep your eye open. -Koro said poiting to Ryan's uncovered eye.
Ryan groaned and walk alway. Koro look to his crowbar, hidden on his scarf, feeling bad for not use tonight.
What? Old habits die hard.
Koro used his scarf to hang himself on the wall and start to paint the wall with the grafitti while Ryan just keep his eye open for any cop. Take a entirely hour and Ryan ended sleeping in two feets. But was awoke by the sound of his scroll playing a flute song.
-Hello?
-Ryan? -Is Sally calling. -Where are you and Koro?
-We are in Vale.
-Yet? What are you two doing?
-Uhh nothing, Koro just wanted to meet some old friends.
-Oh okay. But is better you two come back quickly. It pass the time to the curfew already and Ms. Goodwitch not gonna like to see you two coming back so late.
-Okay. I will tell that to Koro.
-Bye.
-Yeah bye.
Finishing the call, Ryan walk to where Koro are. He was about to call him when the sight left him speechless.
-And there. -Koro said, throwing the graffity in the air. -Alright! It's... -He kiss his own fingers. -... finish! -Then grab the graffiti back.
Once was just a simple wall of bricks now have a paint of a city street filled with a lot of people, all painted in black color. They were walking like any folks doing their daily routine. But what really call Ryan's attetion was in the middle. A child painted in grey color was sitting in the floor, reaching the hand to grab a apple from a adult who was painted in white and in his back, a pair of big wings. Below the paint was written "Among Us."
-Koro, did... did you do that?
-Impressive right? Just a little reminder that have some people that don't ignores starving people.
-This is related to you?
-To be honest, yes. Once when I was in the city, I was starving, everyone just pass throught in front of me, ignoring me or my existence. Just think on my surprise when a guy just appear in front of me and give me a fruit to eat. It was the first food after years that I didn't need to get from the trash dump or a trash can.
-Wow, it is beautiful. Where did you learn to paint with graffiti anyway?
-When you live in the streets, learn something or two.
-But don't learn how to read?
-Sadly no. Come on, is better we go back to...
-HEY!
Both turn around to see a group of hooded mans also holding graffiti cans. They all were wearing hoods and masks.
-Who give to you permission to paint that wall?! -One of them asked.
-Sorry buddy. You get late.
-Oh yeah? If i just put something above that piece of crap?! -Another asked.
-The simbol of the White Fang above that piece of art? -The group tensed a little while Ryan was confuse with what Koro said. -Never!
-Koro, they are... -Before Ryan could finish, all of the removed the hoods reveling that they all are faunus, they also change the masks for grimms masks. -How did you know they are from White Fang? Wait, how did you know they are faunus?
-I'm a super ninja Ryan, these things don't go through of me.
-And you two know too much.
The group draw knifes, bats and tools and point angrily to Ryan and Kakaroto. Koro put a hand on his katana.
-We cannot talk like civilized mans? -Ryan asked trying a more pacific way.
-Sorry Ryan, they are not civilized anymore.
-Are you calling us animals?!
-No. -Koro asnwered, unsheathing his katana. -I'm calling you criminals!
Cutting the talk, the group attacked.
The group have ten faunus, half attacked Rayn and the other half Koro. He parried with the sword the attacks of the group,he was faster than any of them and have a ninja training so was easy to him. He dissarmed two of them, the other three attacked at the same time, but in the moment one of them hit Koro, he explode. They are confused until heard a wistle from above, Koro fall direct in the head of one of them, knocking him out. The two disarmed grab some wood piece from the trash and joined to the other two.
Koro easily dodge and parry all their attacks and disarmed again the two faunus and kicked them both, knocking them out. The two what left look to each other, unsure if should keep fighting, if this was a fight. They look ahead and Koro was gone.
-What?! -The one in the right shout.
-Where the hell did he go?! -His friend shouted after him.
They looked around, but no sign of Koro, both felt a hand on the shoulder. Koro was behind them. They try attack but was too late, Koro hit one with a kick and the other with his scarf, sending them flying and crashing hard on the floor, knocking them out.
-Pfft, too easy. -Koro look to his partner and saw that he already finished his opponents. Withouth waiting for more trouble, Ryan and Koro decide to leave. -Wait. -Koro said grabing a graffiti can. -Let me do something before we go.
Ryan and Koro successful avoid Glynda in her patrol and walk back to their dorm room. Sally questioned what they did in Vale on the last nightand unfortunately for Koro, Ryan is a terrible liar. He confessed everything after two minutes of interrogation, after Koro done with the paint, the cops were alarmed from a fight in the poor distric of Vale, both Ryan and Koro run away from the scene leving the members of White Fang behind. Sally scold Koro for put himself and Ryan in trouble and told to him be more careful next time.
In the next morning
Beacon
The team was sitting in the cafeteria, enjoying they breakfeast while Sally was watching the news on her scroll.
-... no one know who kill all these grimms, another news. Some White Fang gooms were arrested last night. They possible wanted to paint the White Fang simbol in some walls. With them was find some graffiti cans. But instead of the simbol, was painted in the wall a man giving a food to a poor faunus boy. -The image now was displaying Koro's paiting. The boy now have two cat ears. -The responsable for the paint was not found, one of the members of White Fang tried gain the credit for the paint, but all graffiti cans what have their digitals wer all full. Whoever be this artist, the street need to thank him for beautify that part of the street. The message was clear, may have some angels among us, who care about the people who need help. Here is Lisa Lavender.
-It was you? -Sally asked.
Korojust grinned and eat his pile of food. Sally look to Unícorn who just shruged and Ryan was just eating a bowl of cereal, Sally notices that the gunslinger was in deep thought. Their meal was interrupted by a a pair of fists hitting the table. Ryan get his bowl before fall on the floor, but when he look ahead see a pair of lilac eyes.
